CHELSEA legend Gus Poyet is backing his former club to beat Arsenal this weekend.

Chelsea host Arsenal at Stamford Bridge on Sunday (1:30pm) looking to make it four straight Premier League wins.

The Blues had a disappointing start to the season - having lost to Arsenal in the Community Shield and then to Burnley in their opening league game - but have beaten Tottenham, Everton and Leicester since.

And former Chelsea midfielder believes Antonio Conte’s side can take advantage of Arsenal’s issues this season.

The Gunners have struggled for form and have taken just six points from their opening four games, losing two of them.

Poyet told talkSPORT: “I agree (Chelsea will win), of course after Chelsea with Burley, it’s difficult to arrive at this situation.
